Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 95

Hyung, Am I Cute? – Episode 95 (95/500)

What Siha had in his hand was a carrot.

Not a real carrot, but a small, carrot-shaped safety buzzer.

If you press it, it will make a sound.

“Siha, do you know what this is?”

“Beep-”

“That’s right. It makes a beep sound. You have to use this when it’s dangerous. Got it?”

“Ah ah.”

The teacher said with a smile.

“It makes a sound when you just press the button. But the kids are still young, so they just play with it.”

“Are you just giving this to us?”

“Yes. It’s better than nothing. Of course, Siha didn’t use it much either.”

“That’s true. Maybe he didn’t use it because he recognized me. If a stranger had tried to take him, he would have used it, right?”

“Ah…. Yes…….”

I looked at Siha again and pointed to the button on the carrot safety buzzer.

“If a stranger tries to take you, you have to use this. Got it?”

“Ah ah.”

Nod nod.

He really nods his head well.

I should ask someone else to try it out later.

To see if he really uses it or not.

Well, there will be no need to use this.

Because I will always be by Siha’s side.

When I’m not there, it will probably be when he’s at daycare or left with someone else.

‘There won’t be a need to use it, right?’

If I start worrying, there will be no end to it, so I decided to stop thinking about it here.

I took Siha’s hand and said goodbye to the teacher.

“Then we’ll be going now. Goodbye. Okay, Siha, you have to say goodbye too.”

“Ah ah. Bye-bye.”

Since when did all greetings become bye-bye?

I waved my hand and got in the car with Siha and headed home.

Siha fiddled with the safety buzzer and played with it.

Maybe he likes it.

Because it’s a cute carrot on the outside.

“Siha, shall we make a delicious dish with carrots today?”

“No.”

“Huh?”

“No.”

“Do you dislike carrots?”

Siha turned his head slightly.

He likes the carrot safety buzzer, but he doesn’t like eating carrots.

Is this the thing where you like seeing it but don’t like eating it?

But it doesn’t matter if Siha is a picky eater.

Because there is a way to make him eat everything.

“Then shall we eat omelet rice? Hyung [older brother/male friend] practiced a lot this time. Omelet rice is good, right?”

“Omu?”

“It’s a golden food made with eggs.”

Siha shook his legs as if he was in a good mood.

I guess he likes eggs and the color gold.

He’s probably looking forward to it.

But he won’t know that there are carrots in it.

I have to grind it very finely, stir-fry it, coat it with eggs, and hide it so it can’t be seen.

The taste won’t be felt well, so he definitely won’t know.

“It’s very delicious. That’s good, right?”

“Ah ah.”

As expected, a child is still a child.

I hope he will recognize Hyung’s efforts later, even if it’s just a little.

“You have to eat carrots well later too. Got it?”

“Ah?”

Pretending not to know.

Siha turned his head and looked out the window.

“If you eat carrots well, your eyesight gets better. You can see so well that you can even see the rabbit on the moon.”

Siha looked at me.

“Tobbit?”

“Yeah. Hyung read you a fairy tale before, right? You have to have good eyesight to see the rabbit making rice cakes on the moon.”

“Ah ah. Siha. Carrot.”

“Siha, are you going to eat carrots and see the rabbit?”

“Ah ah.”

“Really? Then you have to eat it all without leaving any carrots behind later.”

“Ah ah.”

I also prevented the reason why he might recognize the carrots and not eat them in advance.

With this, Siha will also eat carrots.

Before we knew it, we arrived home.

I went to the kitchen and prepared to cook.

“Hyung, drawing.”

“Huh? Ah! Are you going to draw?”

“Ah ah.”

Before I knew it, my drawing was being completed.

I took a quick look and it was a really cute drawing.

Maybe it’s because of Siha’s drawing style, but it feels like a baby version.

I thought it was okay, so I was thinking of registering it as my profile picture.

‘Ah! I have to upload this picture too.’

It’s been a long time since I uploaded anything these days.

I nodded my head while stirring the eggs diligently.

‘Come to think of it, I have to film the zombie drawing as a video too…….’

I made a promise to Baek Dong-hwan, so I should start filming it soon.

Maybe I’ll draw a zombie when my drawing is finished.

The problem is that I have to prepare it with the child.

And the application requirement is this.

[Do not touch the child’s drawing.]

Then what is the role of the parents?

That is to decide on the setting of what kind of zombie to draw with the child.

Help with the detailed parts that are difficult for the child to do.

‘But that’s the story when you challenge it normally.’

I’m a little different.

I didn’t want to limit Siha’s creativity.

I wanted him to draw freely even if he was drawing a zombie.

Then what I have to do is write a ‘setting’ that matches whatever picture Siha draws.

It’s no different from what I uploaded.

I can do well.

I have a lot of translation materials in my head, and I have interpretation knowledge.

If I combine these, I can plausibly attach any setting.

‘First of all, the goal is not the grand prize.’

I’m greedy for the 5 million won grand prize, but other kids will take it.

Because there is a world full of incredibly talented kids.

In the first place, Siha is 3 years old.

It was also difficult to beat high school students.

‘Well, the evaluation is done by them.’

Something simple and doodle-like might be selected.

A bizarre picture might be selected.

‘In that respect, Siha’s zombie will be too cute.’

I was sure he would draw a round and cute picture without even looking.

“Siha, the food is ready!”

“Ah ah. Siha too!”

Huh? Is Siha also ready?

Siha ran to me with a tablet in his hand.

“Hyung!”

“Yeah. Shall we take a look? Wow! You drew well. It’s the same as Hyung!”

“Ah ah.”

The real me doesn’t look this cute.

Still, I felt good to receive such a picture.

I quickly sent the saved file to my phone.

I immediately saved it as my profile picture and sent a KakaoTalk message to Seo Soo-hyun to show off.

-Lee Si-hyuk: (Picture) It’s a picture I received from Siha.

-Seo Soo-hyun: Ooh~ It’s very cute.

-Lee Si-hyuk: Right?

-Seo Soo-hyun: Doesn’t look like oppa [older brother/male friend] lol

-Lee Si-hyuk: Yeah. Your picture doesn’t look like you either lol

-Seo Soo-hyun: That’s too much. Seriously.

-Seo Soo-hyun: ??

-Seo Soo-hyun: What? Did you text me just to say that? Hello? Hello?

-Seo Soo-hyun: This oppa is really! You’re going to say this and ignore me?

I put my phone away and showed Siha the omelet rice.

Omelet rice that was rolled well in golden color.

This is not the end.

I picked up the red ketchup and said to Siha.

“Siha, watch carefully. Hyung will draw a penguin for you.”

I tried hard to squeeze out the ketchup and draw it, but what came out was not a penguin but a pig.

Why did it become a pig?

Siha looked at it and said.

“Hyung. Hyung.”

“Yeah?”

“Pepe. No.”

“Yeah. This is an animal that lives somewhere in space, so it looks different.”

“Ah ah.”

Siha nodded his head and picked up a spoon.

“Be careful because it’s hot.”

“Ah ah.”

Siha ate diligently, munching and munching.

I felt good to see him eating the golden omelet rice deliciously.

But Siha, do you know?

There are carrots in there.

Siha didn’t seem to notice that there were carrots in it.

Looking at that, I also picked up a spoonful.

***

-Filming Siha’s zombie drawing.

I had to film every time I drew a picture to upload this video.

I didn’t want to force him to draw zombies.

Because it’s a hobby that he draws freely, not a job.

If I force him, his interest might fade away.

In the first place, Baek Dong-hwan wouldn’t be dissatisfied because it was a condition that Siha wanted to do it.

If it doesn’t work out, I can just throw any picture by the submission date.

Originally, if you explain well, you’re halfway there.

Of course, if you draw well, you’re halfway there.

“Siha, what are you going to draw today?”

“Jomby [zombie].”

“Oh! Are you going to draw a zombie?”

“Ah ah. Baek Dong!”

It seemed that Siha remembered the promise with Baek Dong-hwan.

As expected, Siha is kind.

He is a child who keeps his promises so well.

“Then what kind of jomby are you going to draw?”

Ahem. I’m pronouncing zombie as jomby without realizing it.

Siha started to put his hands on his head and think.

That’s the pain of creation.

But why are you putting both hands on your head?

Anyway, it’s cute.

‘Should I say something helpful?’

Looking at Siha working hard to think, I realized that being too free also makes it difficult to choose.

“Siha, how about drawing the most recent thing you saw?”

“Ah? Jomby?”

“Huh? Have you seen a zombie recently? You did watch a cartoon. You can’t copy the person in the cartoon.”

“Ah ah. Jomby!”

Siha put his hand on his eyes and slid it down.

It seems like he wants to express something.

“Kkeua~”

He looked down at the floor and let out a strange cry.

It only looked cute to me.

“Um. What is he saying?”

“Hyung.”

Siha ran to the room, put on his bag, and started walking awkwardly.

He rubbed his eyes and frowned.

“Kkeua~”

Only then did I nod my head.

Siha expresses himself well.

But Siha, that person is a graduate student, not a zombie.

“Siha. It’s not a zombie, it’s a person. A graduate student…….”

“Ah? Gaduade student [graduate student]?”

How should I explain a graduate student?

It’s very difficult to explain.

Should I explain solgeo-nobi [government slave] and oegeo-nobi [private slave]?

I was thinking nonsense and racking my brain for a long time.

“Ah, right! Siha studies at daycare, right?”

“Ah ah.”

“You go to kindergarten to study more there.”

“Ginder [kindergarten]?”

“Yeah. Then you go to elementary school, middle school, high school, and the university that Hyung goes to.”

“Why?”

“To study more.”

“Ah ah.”

“There, a person who goes to graduate school to study even more is a graduate student.”

Would this be enough explanation?

I don’t know how to explain it any further.

“Why?”

“That’s…. because they love studying.”

“Ah ah.”

I feel like I lied, but I also feel like I didn’t.

Yeah. It’s not a lie.

It’s also true that they go there because they want to study more.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah? Are you going to draw a zombie now? What kind of zombie? A graduate student?”

“No.”

Siha grabbed a pen.

He drew a round face.

It wasn’t a perfect circle, but a slight oval.

He didn’t draw ears, but there were headsets where the ears were.

There were two round leaves on the headset.

The bottom of the oval had three straight lines drawn to create a wrinkle-like feeling.

Slightly protruding hands and feet.

‘He’s drawing really simply.’

It was a really simplified picture.

It didn’t even look like a human.

It looked like a kind of mascot character.

A simple character drawing that was something to insist on as a zombie.

‘But it feels like I’ve seen it somewhere.’

As I was looking closely at the picture, Siha started coloring it.

He colored it orange.

I nodded my head when I saw the color.

‘It’s a carrot?’

It was a picture of a carrot wearing green leaf headsets and shaking its body.

I was stunned because I never thought he would draw such a picture.

In the first place, I didn’t even think it would be a human.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah. Siha, what kind of zombie is this?”

“Ah ah. Carrot Jomby [zombie].”

“Ah! It’s a carrot zombie.”

Yeah. There aren’t only human zombies in the world.

It’s very unconventional.

A carrot zombie that is not an animal but a plant.

As expected, his creativity is no joke.

‘I guess he remembered it after seeing the graduate student.’

The meeting with the carrot safety buzzer seems to be remembered on the day he saw the graduate student.

It was cute enough to remember.

“Hyung!”

“Yeah. It’s a very amazing zombie. Right?”

“Ah ah.”

Before I knew it, the carrot zombie was completed.

I filmed it all as a video.

‘But what kind of setting should I make for this? No, in the first place, can I get an encouragement award with this?’

I pondered over and over again and clenched my fist tightly.

There is no impossibility in Hyung’s dictionary.

I have to make this human.

I have to recall all my knowledge and create a good setting.

My head was spinning quickly and all kinds of information flooded in.

Siha looked at me and said.

“Hyung. Eyes! Sparkle!”

Siha clenched and opened his hands.

“Siha.”

“Ah?”

“Hyung will make you a good zombie.”

“Ah ah.”

I put my hand on the laptop, attached the video, and started writing the settings.
